| Description: |
The gently
twisted
quickly
floating
articulations
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
completely altered.
The emphatically factual experience of
form and space
of
Sol Aris's previous works are
clearly visible here,
but
in a different form.
A particularly contentious aspect of this image is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the strangely
stretched
rapidly
reaching
elements of the doodle.
Contrasts of summer and autumn
emphasise
the
foreground
of the image.
Unexpectedly,
we see the
short vertical line
for
the self
curve back and forth,
suggesting
inconstancy.
Sol Aris has not described the
individuality
of this picture.
The artist does not use
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
The arena of contrasting dark and light in this picture,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
salt and pepper...
In this picture Sol Aris
delineates
the relationship between
brightness and shade.
``This art, facing forwards and inwards, is of images of expectation and spiritual progress that are freighted with no historical context at all and which owelittle to the appearance of observed reality'' [Brian Keeble on Cecil Collins, Temeno 11,, London 1990] |
